Zipline Through the Trees in Chiang Mai Thailand

Flying through the trees in Chiang Mai Thailand

A new adventure thrill open about 60 kilometers East of Chiang Mai in Mae Ao district called Flight of the Gibbon. Here in the National Park, cables have been strung between tall trees up to 80 meters in length and 100 meters above the forest floor. If you are afraid of heights this is not for you.

When you arrive you are put into a harness, given a helmet and a safety briefing. We were then driven in a van about 5 minutes to the starting point. Here another safety briefing is given along with what to do. The two guides will do everything for you. They will hook the pulley and safety cable up to the suspended cable. They show you where to hold on and off you go.






The first one was kind of scary but after that the next 13 runs were lots of fun. At one point we had to repel from a higher stand to one a little lower in the same tree then cross a swing bridge to another tree. At the end we repel down to the ground.

Picture does not do this great adventure justice, you need to see the video then do it your self.

Trekking through the jungle can be a wonderful experience or it can be a nightmare. If your guide has little or no experience it could be a disaster. The environmental impact of taking people in the jungle must also be taken into consideration.

Our guides have lived with the jungle for decades

medicines, fruits, berries,mushrooms, and vegetables.

We know of its rewards as well as it's dangers.

    I will comment here again once we do.

    Great Work
